  1. I would go for the Zona,

    Mostly because of the HS33s which will start you off pritty good. The frames are quite long but arn't too bad.

    The brakes on the T-Pro will soon start to annoy you and you'll want to upgrade to HS33s anyway.

    My mate had the Zona and I liked it from what I can remember, I think they are quite good value too.

    HS33s are a much better investment than the standar Onza disk brake that comes on the T-Pro mate.

  2. Mods are easy and fun to ride but I've always rode short frames (995mm, 1000mm and 1005mm) Any longer and I lose that flicky feeling.

    Stocks I find are very cumbersome and sluggish and yet gapping I can get so much more power. e.g. Across a wide parking space, on the mod I'll get 3/4 of the way and land slightly pissed and get a touch of tyre roll, on my friends stock I'll make it to the line easy.

    I've settled for the middle ground and I'm please to say I'm picking up my Echo24" trial from MrMeek tomorrow :)

    Ok man,thanks. Was just curious to see what lengths people ride compared to their height. I do like my frame as it rides nice and flicky.

  3. wheelbase is possibly the least important measurement for bikes. If I was to get a custom bike I wouldn't even tell them what wheelbase I wanted, I would tell them all the other important things (reach, head angle, bb hight and chainstay length) and let the wheelbase be what ever it comes out as.

    Your bike should be fine, mods should be fun and flicky and increasing the reach will ruin it.

    Ahh ok thanks, I just wanted to check incase I was doing any damage to my back or incase it was limiting how I ride.

    Thanks very much (Y)

  4. I couldn't find any similar topics so I thought id ask.

    Im 5.11" and ride a mod Speedrace Fans. The wheelbase is 1000mm, the bike seems to feel ok when I ride but would I benifit from a longer frame? It might be a stupid question because it's more of a personal thing but Iv had nothing to compare the length to.

    Thanks.

  5. Iv always used hydrolics apart from my first onza disc brake years ago ha.

    Since my Hope Mono has bust iv decided to have a change an go with a bb7. Im guna have the SD7 lever but I just want to know what would be a good cable to run?

    Cheers

  6. Hey, Im unbelievably stuck for ideas on what to design my product like. It cannot be based on any existing products e.g a piece of cheese, car, bike you get the picture.

    In school I only have the basic manufacturing processes like lazer cutted, vac forming machine, drills, line bender, lathe ect.

    Im not asking for you to design it for me so please don't tell me to do it myself, just hoping for some ideas and help in general as im struggling at the moment.

    It can be made of an general material like metals, plastics and woods.

    Im basically looking for a modern design.

    Please comment.

    Cheers guys.
